wish i would had looked to see what kind of bike it was. My heart was just racing a bit and my stock brakes faded extremely bad and had to down shift pretty hard to get the car to slow. but the guy was probably pushing 200lbs. Looked like most of the crotch rockets ive seen nothing special and wasnt bigger then a 750 if that im pretty sure. Was just the first time ive acually had some one on a bike willing to play. I've been wanting to see if i could stay with one. I just remember when i was younger (10-12 years ago) a guy had told me that there isnt that much of a differance once you get upto speed.

even if he was pushing 200 lbs, there is no way a N/A stang would hang with him, unless he was either playing with you or a REALLY bad rider. not to be mean or anything, but i would have to see it to believe it. my car ran a 13.4 with bald street tires and after riding my bike i get in my car and it feels slow as piss...

the guy i bought my bike from said that he got the bike to ~160 and i kno that a stang without some decent mods wont get to 160. so there is a difference onc eyou get up to speed.....not to mention a bike will get there waaayy faster

duh huh makes you think twice about burnouts don't it.


now for the bike versus stang debate. it really boils down to who is in the saddle and what bike and condition it is in. I've beat 2 in my stang which NO WAY in h3ll I should've. One was a first gen r1, guy was in saddles, tank top and shorts, no helmet and wanted to race on the hwy. Clearly a squid.
2nd was an older srad 750 gsxr Guy was a decent ride but he had a chick on the back and I'm sure that limited his acceleration and his willingness to push it.
I personal count both of those as I OUTDROVE them not outrun them.
